Chapter 126: Jackson's Surprising Decision

After Ye Ming arrived in Los Angeles, he did not follow everyone over, but secretly met with Jackson, because Jackson's concert finale asked him to be a guest singer, and when he heard that Ye Ming had arrived in the United States, Jackson also called and said that he wanted everyone to get together.

The place where the two met was in Jackson's private villa in Los Angeles, at this moment, Jackson's mental state was very good, and the whole person became much more cheerful.

Because now Jackson doesn't have to worry about his debts at all, and now even if he doesn't use the shares of Sony Records as collateral, the bank is looking for him, hoping that he can take out a loan.

As we all know, Jackson and Brilliant Network are strategic partners, the first top superstar to establish this strategic partnership with Brilliant Network, such a relationship, Jackson will naturally be taken care of.

Therefore, even if Jackson stays at home and does nothing every year, he will still have a large income.

What's more, he wrote new songs by himself, and he didn't have to find any record company or anything like that to release records or promote anything, as long as he said that there was a brilliant network, then everything would be fine, naturally there were people on the Internet who would download his songs, in this way, he would have his own income at home.

Of course, Jackson did not give up his recording profession because of this, and he also took the opportunity of holding a concert to release his new album [That's it].

In his previous life, Jackson actually wanted to release another album, and even said that the songs were almost ready, but the child prostitution case made him discredited, and his image plummeted, so the matter of this new album slowly dragged on. But at this time, he completely swept the entertainment industry with the attitude of the return of the king.

The album [That's it], the name was chosen by Ye Ming to help him, as for why this is the case, Ye Ming's answer is that this will be the last glory of the record industry.

After the introduction of MP3 from Apple. Ye Ming has been reminding Jackson that the record industry will slowly fall and become an abandoned industry.

Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming told Jackson that this may be Jackson's last glory, even if he wants to release albums in the future, including Madonna, Whitney and other superstars. It's the same will sink into the sand, and if you want to create tens of millions of sales, it will be almost impossible in the future.

In the future, it will almost be the world of the Internet.

The recording profession would be fragile to a rather frightening degree. It's not that the rap profession will disappear completely, but that this form will gradually set sunset.

Jackson may still release new records in the future, but it is almost impossible to create miraculous sales. Therefore, this album should be the glory of Jackson's last record.

If it was said that before cooperating with Ye Ming, he would say it like this. When it comes to epoxy automatics, Jackson really can't believe it.

But when he was like this, it was because he cooperated with Ye Ming. really tasted the sweetness of the Internet, and at this time, Ye Ming said these things to him, so one of these things became more logical.

Jackson's new album has already sold 10 million copies.

Miracle, this is a miracle created by the king of heaven.

When Jackson saw Ye Ming, the first thing he asked him very seriously was to say, "Ye." You said that the record industry will go down, but the sales of my record are also very objective, and it is time to open champagne. Ten million, that's a pretty big number.

Why do you say that the record industry will decline in the future?" because his record is very popular now, so he also has a certain nostalgia for Ye Ming's words, does it mean that this matter is really like what Ye Ming said, and the traditional record industry will decline to an amazing point?

Ye Ming said very affirmatively: "Mike, you don't have to question this matter, I said that this will be the last glory of your record, not that your results will not be very good." Don't forget who you are, the king of pop music, your [Thriller] sales are hundreds of millions of sales, you are the one who stands at the top of pop music, if it is said that your records have not reached such a sales, then it is doubtful.

But there's no doubt that this is truly your last record miracle. And, I dare say, no one will surpass the sales of your [Thriller] record in the future.

You see, the rate at which your record sales are increasing is now very obviously declining, and there is a big difference from the previous blowout, which means that people will rarely buy records in the future.

Even if you release a new record in the future, and everyone plays online music, what do you do, so sooner or later, the record industry will decline. ”

Jackson pondered for a moment and said, "I want to create a miracle, is there a way for you, if it is really the last glory, then I hope that this time I can get a perfect answer." ”

Since it is inevitable, Jackson wants to be the best at this thing, he is a perfectionist, so in such a thing, in fact, no matter what it is, he himself does not allow himself to have any flaws.

Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "Yes, yes, but this matter is also a difficult decision for you to make, if you say, this will be your last record, even if you have a new work in the future, you will directly go to the Internet to download, I think, this record, it must be another rush to buy." Jackson's last record, this one does have a big enough gimmick.

Therefore, this matter made Jackson also stunned, if it was said that there was no retreat from the Internet, then Jackson would not give up the record industry at this time, but he now has a brilliant network, a brilliant film and television, and such a retreat.

So, in such a situation, he pondered for a long time before saying, "Well, I'll announce this at the press conference, this will be my last record, and my work will be downloaded on the Internet in the future." Wish. Able to work a miracle. ”

Whether Jackson will be able to create a miracle again, Ye Ming doesn't know, but now Jackson has begun to create a miracle that he doesn't even know about.

In a previous life, Jackson didn't release a new record at all because of the case, but after his death. has become the most profitable artist year after year, which has to be said to be a very sad problem for Jackson.

After his death, everyone realized what a great artist he was.

But now, Jackson has started a new life, he no longer worries about his debts, and Jackson has a very good image in the public.

He himself has already begun to work miracles. If he adopts Ye Ming's approach again, then such a thing will become very interesting.

Jackson's album, which sold more than 20 million copies, is definitely not a problem.

And Jackson, in fact, is a person who does what he says, and after separating from Ye Ming, he flew directly to New York. I held a press conference for the finale of my own concert, and. At a press conference, he himself announced a startling decision.

A red jacket, huge sunglasses, white gloves, a black dress, and a white armband on his arm. This is Jackson's standard attire, in the face of more than 300 reporters, Jackson after finishing his concert, suddenly signaled everyone to be quiet, at this time everyone looked at Jackson.

Jackson at the moment. The mood is very calm, and the tone is also very peaceful: "Everyone, thank you for coming to this press conference, thank you for your support over the years, thank you fans, colleagues, and colleagues in the record company for your support to me." ”

What kind of thing is this, it looks like a speech at the award ceremony.

But the keen reporter had already found some clues in Jackson's expression, as if something important was about to happen.

Sure enough, Jackson finally said in a very sincere tone: "Now, I announce a decision, [That's it] this record is selling very well, but I can tell you that this record will be my last." ”

The reporter of the [New York Times] couldn't sit still, as a die-hard fan, he immediately raised his hand, and after getting a nod from Jackson, the reporter stood up and said, "Hello Mr. Jackson, I'm Henry, a reporter from the New York Times, and just now you said, [That's it] will be your last record, so you won't release any more records of any kind in the future?"

Jackson can now be said to be at the peak of a singer, if there is no accident, then at this time, if Jackson has been in the entertainment industry for another ten or eight years, it is very normal, and there are not one or two stars in their sixties in the entertainment industry.

But Jackson said that this would be his last record, are you fooling me?

Jackson replied in the affirmative: "Yes, I can tell you for sure that this will be my last record, of course, if there is any charity need, I will spare no effort to support it, but a purely commercial record, this will be my last record, from this record, I will not release a new album, including a commemorative album." ”

Jackson is a very enthusiastic philanthropic person, and everyone knows this very well, so everyone says that there is no objection to Jackson's statement.

In European and American countries, celebrities release some records and star in some movies for charity, not only do they not want a penny, but also things like posting room and board expenses are also common, they don't want profits, but fame.

The Time reporter stood up and said, "Mr. Jackson, I'm Johns from Time magazine, and if you don't release any more records in the future, does that mean we can think that you have the intention of quitting the music industry?"

Jackson shook his head with a smile and said: "Naturally this is not the case, because I also found that the record industry has begun to show signs of decline, especially after the release of Apple's MP3, even more so, not many people will pay attention to our records, right." Mr. Johns, you're using Apple's MP3 series for the interview, right?"

Johnson waved his hand a little awkwardly, it was indeed an Apple product. Jackson said solemnly: "I met my friend before, and I talked to him about this matter, and he said that in the future, Internet concerts will really replace the record industry, and this is a big trend.

Therefore, if I don't release new records, it doesn't mean that I will quit the music scene, on the contrary, I will join the music industry more deeply and do my own favorite music, and my future works will be released by downloading the Internet.

Therefore, I will not quit the music scene, I just said that I will change the release channel. ”

Jackson's words really touched the nerves of the blow, because Jackson not only said it like this, but also did it like this, and at this time, his annual income on the Internet was basically an open secret.

Although there is a certain difference between this and his actual income, it is believed that Jackson's actual income will be more than announced.

At this time, Jackson had already mastered the profit model of the Internet.

At this moment, everyone understands why Jackson has so much confidence and directly announced that this is his last record, and for a while, all the media are boiling, in addition to hyping Jackson's concert finale, the rest is more concerned about Jackson's last album.

At this time, the BBC reporter asked Jackson such a question in a subsequent interview, why did he release this news at this juncture, if it was said that the news was released before the album was sold, then I believe that the album sales will be even larger.

Jackson was very frank about his previous conversation with Ye Ming, and said that he had repeatedly considered such a problem, if it was really like what Ye Ming said, at this time he hoped to leave a good memory for his fans, and not wait until his album really sold hundreds of thousands of people and the feeling of being abandoned by everyone happened, and then make this kind of unexpected decision.

Jackson's answer is very pertinent, and it also caused a burst of sadness in everyone, perhaps, many people have thought of a question like Jackson, that is, in such a situation, the record industry is really the same as what Ye Ming said, and it will be time for the sunset. (To be continued......)
